The RuleBreaker

Chapter 63: Confrontation

Amber Keet

 

I heard the news. The fact that Erebus talked to Bianca in Tartaros without anyone noticing and Zo can enter the Underworld with or without permission. Alam kong dapat hindi ako nag-ke-care kay Bianca. I mean—I hate her right? From the beginning of the story I was a cruel cousin to her. But somehow, Parang naaawa ako? Simula nung Narinig ko ata ang mga sinabi niya sa Constants doon sa rooftop pagkatapos niyang tumakbo noong niligawan siya ni Andru. She said na kahit gusto ni Ian ang isang tao, Never magiging sila. And that moment—I started to remember all the nice things she did for me and Nico as well. Kaya habang wala siya sa mundong ibabaw, I’ll keep my eyes on Aries.

Suspicious ang katauhan ni Aries. Hindi namin alam ang kahit na ano tungkol sakanya except for the fact that kaibigan siya ng pinsan ni Liam. Ni hindi nga namin alam kung sino ang mortal parent niiya, Kung saan siya nag-aaral, Kung ilang taon na siya, Birthday niya at most importantly—Kung sino ang God/Goddess parent niya.  At para malaman ang lahat ng iyon, I transferred back to fifth Academy. Last month lang. Trip ko ata. -________________________-

“Hey, Amber!”  Masayang bati ni Candice.

Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay kaya nag-iba ang expresyon ng mukha niya. “Sungit mo naman.” Sambit niya.

“Ano kailangan mo?” I asked without looking at her. I was too busy thinking about the finals. Hindi na nga ako nakakapasok ng klase eh.

“I told Third.” Agad akong napalingon sakanya with big wide eyes.

“Who gave you the permission to do that?!” Pabulong kong Tanong.

Tears started to fall from her eyes. She rubbed her eyes and spoke. “H-hindi k-ko ka-kasi s-siya M-matiis eh! Huhuhuhuhuhu!”

“Oh Ghad!” I exclaimed.

“Don’t worry , girls. Hindi ko ipagsasabi.” Naramdaman ko ang mahinang tapik ni Third sa likod ko.

“What?” Tanong ko.

“You’ve got to see something horrible!” Hinila niya kami ni Candice sa Wrist.

Hinigit ko ang sarili kong kamay. “Bakit ko pa titignan kung ‘Horrible’ naman pala? Tss. I would just be wasting my precious time—“

“Wag KJ, Amber.” Si Candice.

Napa-irap na lang ako at nagpatangay na.

--

“Okay ka lang?” Liam asked.

Aries nodded at pinunasan ang sariling luha. “Liam, O-okay na ako.”

I rolled my eyes. Eww. Pabebe ang peg. -______-

“No. I insist.”  Mas ginamot pa ni Liam ang natamaang braso ni Aries.

“Hinde! Sige okay lang!” Aries said.

“Sino ba may gawa nito?”

Aries looked at her feet when she spoke. “S-si …”

“C’mon. I won’t be mad. Sina Eight ba?” Tanong ni Liam.

Biglang nanlaki ang mata ni Third. Umiling naman si Aries.

“Eh sino?”

“Si Amber.”

O_________________________O my jaw literally dropped.

Hinila ako ni Candice kaya bumalik na lang kami sa kanina naming pwesto sa may garden.

“What did you do?” Seryosong Tanong ni Third.
